Lancaster Park returned to winning form on Saturday, beating St.. Albans with same wickets in hand. P. F. Nelson made a good 67 out of St. Albans' total of 163. I. B. Cromb took five wickets for 44.

Mulcock bowled steadily to take live for 49.
Riccarton beat Old Collegians easily at Rugby Park in an interesting game. Riccarton made 213, with no batsman making an outstanding total; but the majority stood up to the bowling without much trouble. Old Collegians could make only S3 —A. W. Roberts, who took six wickets for 15, being the main reason for the side's collapse. P. J. Byrne, who made 30. was the only batsman to seem at all confident, and he was more patient than aggressive. The wicket was uncertain and tricky, and became worse with play. Roberts in particular making good use of its patchiness to trick the batsmen. W. McD. Anderson's sound innings! of 96. including 12 fours and one six, :saved Old Boys from defeat by West Christchurch at Hagley Park. The last 15 minutes of play provided excitement since Old Boys (179 runs for three wickets) wanted 27 runs for a win. Mackay's bowling, however, turned the tide. He took Anderson's wicket, and narrowly missed a hattrick. His average was six runs a wicket (four wickets for 24). Old Boys, eight wickets down for 186 at stumps, drew with West Christchurch 205. G. R. Gregory (West Christchurch) provided the next best innings, his 88 including 11 fours. For Old Boys. M. Graham took four wickets for 53. and R. F. Cooke five wickets for 64. T. Waine, batting for East Christchurch against Sydenham, scored 28 runs off six hits, including two sixes and off an over from A. D. Park he scored 21. In partnership with K. Wilson he compiled 50 runs in 10 minutes and in his score of 79 were 13 fours and two sixes. The match was drawn, East Christchurch declaring with 274 for seven wickets, and Sydenham playing out time with 161 for the loss of three wickets..

ST, ALBANS There were few bright patches In the game between Lancaster Park and St. Albans on Hagley Park No. 2, and during the afternoon there were only three good innings. P. F. Nelson, opening with N. S. H. McCann for St. Albans, played one of his best innings of the season so far, and while things were going well with the other batsmen scored at a fair pace. But when the later batsmen began making fatal mistakes he thought more of keeping his wicket intact. None of the bowling seemed to trouble him much, and unlike most of the others he played few chancy or rash strokes. His innings showed what could be done by playing orthodox strokes, and his score mounted through clever placements more than by hard hitting. The side's 50 came up in 45 minutes, and the 100 in 86 minutes. McCann and H. Armstrong reached double figures but the others slumped until T. Tucker reached 18 with some powerful hitting. I. B. Cromb did not open with R. J. Read as usual, and used him and D. A. N. Mcßae very sparingly, neither Retting a wicket. F. W. Bellamy got the first two victims, but after that W. O. Mapplebeck and Croinb shared the honours with Ihrce for 36 and five for 44 respectively. Lancaster Park did not start well as R. C. Shand, who opened with Cromb, soon returned an easy catch to E. Mulcock. R. H. Scott bowled from the other end, and his first three balls were powerfully square cut by Cromb to the boundary. It is one of the best points of Cromb's batting that he can score safely off short bails on the off early in his innings. He was well held by Webb in snicking one from Mulcock to leg. Read gave a bright display of driving and safe cuts through the slips. Every now and then a wristy flick flew rather high towards third man, but he did not give a possible chance until the ball before he was dismissed. Nelson just failed to get back far enough to hold a lofty shot to third man, but made no mistake when Read played practically the same shot next ball. A. P. Cobden failed to get hold of a full pitch, and G. Dryden kicked the next, also a full toss, on to his wicket. C. Spring, playing his first senior innings for Lancaster Park, made a good debut with safe scoring shots on both sides. He batted very patiently, waiting for the right ball to come along. McRae hit Mulcock for a powerful six, and was then brilliantly caught by Scott high up at fine leg. Bellamy, F. Kerr, and Mapplebeck all batted brightly in reaching double figures. Mulcock. with five for 49, was the outstanding bowler, and occasionally appeared to turn one back from The leg, thus forcing the batsmen to play him the whole time. He was several tiroes lav too wide on the leg. but his length was good, save for one or two full tosses. Scores:—

RICCARTON v. OLD COLLEGIANS Riccarton had an easy win over Old Collegians at Rugby Park, in a game full of interest. Rain, which twice stopped play lor iairly long spells, did nothing to improve a wicket that seemed tricky even at the start of play, and it was a good day tor bowlers. Riccarton. batting iirst, was all out for 213 —compiled in bursts of scoring and hard hitting by several batsmen, none of whom stayed at the wicket for very long—and left Old Collegians a fairly difficult task on a wicket that was not improving with play. A. W. Roberts, who lias not bowled much this season in club games, made up for his previous absence by securing one of the best senior averages of the season so far—six wickets for 15. He bowled throughout Old Collegians' innings, and none of the batsmen, except P. J. Byrne, who was markedly cautious, played him with any degree of enthusiasm or even surety. He kept an impeccable length, and on the day and wicket it was almost impossible to score freely from him. Earlier in the innings his average was even better than it was at the end of It.
There were no outstanding scores in Riccarton's first innings. The opening pair. G. H. Stringer and F. F. Dawson, began well, and put on more than 50 before the partnership was broken. Stringer made 30 and Dawson 27. J. 1.. Powell in a typical innings hit two sixes, one over the fence into the road and the other over the grandstand, and then, after taking his score on by further hard hitting to 26. was well caught by Walter, who shared with the rest of Old Collegians a genuine keenness in the field. G. A. Bull made a patient 36. beginning slowly, and taking no chances with anything. P. Rose hit hard and as often as he could lor his 2(5, and the same description applied with even more force to W. M. Strachan. who made 35 cleanly and quickly. R. IS. Alexander, with five for SG, bowled best for Old Collegians. story of Old Collegians at the crease was mainly the story of Roberts's bowling. He began 'by dismissing one of the opening batsmen, C. V. Walter, when he was four, and then took the wickets of J. M. Ollivier, R. E. Alexander, S. G. Lester, W. Raphael, and C. M. OUivier, in fairly quick succession. The whole side was out for 83, and the only batsman to do at all well on an uncertain wicket and against excellent bowling was P. J. Byrne, who made a patient 30. L. J. Fairbairn also bowled well, getting pace from the wicket. Scores were:—

With 15 minutes before stumps, Old Boys wanted 29 runs for a win, and they had lost only three wickets. Anderson and Harbidge, moreover, appeared to have mastered the bowling. Anderson had reached 90 and Harbicige was approaching 40, and both were scoring freely. Then the collapse started. Anderson lost his wicket to Mackay when the total was 179; Mackay took two more wickets in the same over for the loss of four runs, and another wicket in his next over. Another Old Boy was run out, and stumps were drawn witn the Old Boys' total 186 for eight wickets, compared with West Christchurch . 205 (Gregory 88). West Christchurch made a patchy start. Hay and Kerr opened; but Kerr toyed with a risky ball from Graham and was caught by the wicket-keeper (Harbidge) with the total at 8 and his own innings 6. The second wicket fell when Hay gave an easy catch off Cook, the score standing at 48 (Hay 23). Gregory, West Christchurch's highest scorer, settled down to partner Patrick; but the latter was out lbw to Cook with the innings total 55. Gregory and Taylor had brought this to 94 by 3 o'clock when rain caused a temporary stop to ■ play. . Gregory owed some of his runs to indifferent fielding, and he waa once dropped by Graham in a hard drive to leg when his totajl was. 19. . When play restarted Cook and Graham found weak'nesses in the "West Christchurch batting, though Taylor and Johnston each added more than a score of runs. Gregory's was the last wicket to fall. He gave a catch to Harbidge off a well-pitched ball from Graham. The fall of the last five wickets was brisk, the scores being 175 for six, 178 for seven. 180 for eight, 205 for nine, and 205 for 10.
Gregory's 88 included 11 fours. Old Boys' start, and the progress of their scoiftg, was somewhat similar to West Christchurch's. Half of their score came from Anderson's 96, an excellent knock, including 12 fours and one six. When the score had reached 5 Menzies was run out for a "duck." Hadlee added a useful but cautious 33, partnered first by McEwen, who stayed long enough to make 4. and then by Anderson. Hadlee lost his'wicket with the score 82 for three wickets. Both Anderson and Harbidge were dropped, Harbidge by Hay in the long-field when the total was 100, and Anderson by Taylor in a very hard drive. Both batsmen found holes in the fielding and showed little respect for the bowling, fast and slow. With' 29 to. make in 15 minutes. Anderson forced and was bowled by Mackay. Old Boys' hope of a win was lost, and the remaining wickets went cheaply. Mackay found a perfect length and missed a hat-trick when Christmas made a single four off a ball. The fall of wickets was four down for 179, five down for 183, six down for 183,, seven down for 184, eight down for 186. Mackay took four wickets for 24 runs.

Taylor, 5 overs. 53 runs SYDENHAM v. EAST CHRISTCHURCII Scoring was fast in the earlier part of the game between Sydenham and East Christchwrch, played on the Lancaster Park oval. R. Varcoc and if Couplaiid. i opening for East Christchurch. punished the opening bowlers. A. D. Park and L. A. Eutterfield, and scored 50 runs in 24 minutes. Varcoe hit three fours in succession off Park, but, although many enterprising singles were stolen, the batsmen were singularly wary of taking risks, and a few singles could have easily been pairs with a tittle faster running. N. Stokes and N. Burft. replacing Butterfielc! and Park, commanded the batsmen'.-; respect, and with the score at 81 the first wicket fell, Varcoe being run out after making a very good 37.
The next three wickets fell very quickly. Coupland was caught by a substitute at 40, Davis played on a ball from Burtt, and Lohrey was caught off Burtt by a substitute for a duck. The century was up after 66 minutes of play, and with the score at 111 for four, heavy rain caused an adjournment of 20 minutes. At 146 the next wicket. G. Mortlock's, felt to a splendid ball from Park. T. Kennedy, hitting all round the wicket with a very free style, made a sound 63 before hf was dismissed? by a low ball from Stokes. Kennedy's score included nine foiirs. and leff Eas* Christchurch with si* wickets down for 178. Th<»n came a Wonderful innings by T. Waine. who was partnered by K. Wilson. 50 runs coming' in 10 minutes. Waine scored 21 runs off one over from Park and made 2« runs with six hits, including two sixes. He scored 13 fours and two
sixe< With Waine's score at 79 and the total at 274 East Christchurch declared for the loss of seven wickets. At 4.35 p.m. Sydenham, needing 275 to win and obviously playing for a draw, opened with E. Gasson and X,. "WalsVi, who faced the bowling of Davis'and Coupland. Gasson was stumped smartly and Walsh was caught by Kennedy, and the score stood at two wickets for five. Both lost their wickets to Davis's bowling. A. Butterfield and M. Gray then set up a steady partnership and some solid' cricket was seen Gray fell a victim to a cunning ball from Kennedy and was stumped by Callaway after compiling a very pretty SG. Butterfield and N. Stokes then played out time, facing the bowling of Waine, Coupland. Kennedy, and Davis. Stokes's score was 49. and Butterfteld's 56 was the outcome of 110 minutes' batting.

A record score for one wicket was established by Papanui Old Boys by B. Grimwood and J. Cains, who made 103 not out and 102 not out respectively, the total being 212 for one wicket when play ceased.
The wickets, which were fast at the commencement of play, became tricky with the light rain and the ball got very greasy and difficult to hold. Shirley made a good start in its first innings against Railway and had 166 on for the loss of five wickets, but the taiienders went cheaply and the side was all out for 185. Railway scored a. five-point win.
A surprising recovery was made by Spreydon. and the side declared in the second innings with 266 for eight wickets. Sunnyslde played out time but failed to secure the runs necessary for an outright win and win on the first innings.

Campbell and E. Irving opened the Beck-er-ham innings and between them they made 95 before Miss Irving was run out. When the Mai Moa innings closed early in the afternoon, it was expected that, with ample time at their disposal, the Mai Moa bowlers would dismiss-Becken-ham for a small score and give their wde another of the easy victories that it has had many times this season However, as the Beckenham score rapidly mounted, it became apparent that Mai Moa would have to fight hard for a draw, and then prospects of a win for Beckenham grew brighter as the Mai Moa total was approached without loss of a wicket. Miss Campbell hit eight fours in compiling her total of 59 not out. There was something of a surprise, too. in the other senior grade game. Weakened by the absence of R. Martin and P.
